Our schedule is just ridiculous at this point. Games/series against 4 of the 8 projected national hosts. 3 more against projected host teams. 27 (!!!) games played against teams in the field.

State will be plenty battle tested. Let's get healthy and win 2 more weekends for some postseason baseball at the Doak.

I would take that regional in a heart beat. Just give them a better 4 seed (USC Upstate?) so they have to burn Yesavage in the Friday night opener.

Could see ECU playing really tight in the postseason (again) after cruising through what is an awful AAC. It's almost more pressure on them to play at home in front of a neurotic crowd given the Omaha monkey.

Lately it feels like we are a .500 team winning two out of three in the weekend series but consistently losing Sunday & midweek. Hard to see postseason success that way so hopefully something changes. Noted that the competition is tough but will it be easier by the ACC & NCAA tournaments?

I think so. It's the SEC/ACC in a tier to themselves and then everyone else right now. 8 of the top 10, 6 of the top 20. The 2 others in the top 10 are ECU and Indiana State who, IMO, wouldn't be there if they played an SEC/ACC schedule.

We are playing the best teams in the country almost every game so there will be nothing we haven't seen when we get to postseason play. The key is Whitaker and Soles getting back in the lineup.

If Pack wins 2 of 3 vs FSU (huge challenge), they would suddenly be right there in the hosting discussion.

And IMO would clearly be the class of the ACC. Not sure how you can take 2-3 from every top team in the league and not be looked at as a top 5 team. Know it won't get seen that way by others but most don't always think logically lol

Despite the garbage FSU pulled, going 1-1 still keeps us right there for hosting.

Feels like we are a few slots out right now. Need another big series win vs UVA.

Up to 19 in RPI. I'm thinking that 3 more wins should get it done. Plus whatever we can potentially add in the acc tournament. 1 more series win and getting out of pool play makes it a lock IMO.

2 series wins and out of pool play and we might be on that national cut line.

Back to being projected to Greenville. I saw another projection today for South Carolina.

Obviously keep winning and hosting takes care of itself. I get that Duke took a series from WFU early, but there's a bit of a RPI discrepancy for the Blue Devils and this seed line.

Series wins against 3 projected hosts.

Series tie (use a stinking tarp!) against another.

We're outside now, but it's very doable.

Preseason #1 Wake not a projected host.

I saw one that had us as a 2 in Kentucky's region also.

the fact that UNC continues to feel like they are a program that is too good to recruit local kids (for damn near two decades) is almost laughable at this point.

Got a buddy who normally knows what is going on with FSU that says one of the tornados that hit Tally yesterday did pretty major damage to the baseball stadium. Not sure how that may impact them moving forward but thought i'd throw it out there.

Looks like FSU's Dick Howser Stadium and Tallahassee was hit by a Tornado overnight or this morning. Glad no one was injured. Lot of damage in the city though.

Glad nobody was hurt. Would think they would be able to get that fixed before their last series since they are on the road this weekend.

Yea doesn't look like it's anything major structurally. Should be able to get it back up by end of year series I'd think.

Ha, now that I know no one was hurt, I can make the comment that Link will definitely use this to get out of a game or two when convenient.

Hopefully someone put the tarp on. If last weekends showers made the field unplayable, I'd hate to see what this did to it.
